Product Information

Latteperfection System - Frothed twice, twice as delicious: the new LATTEperfection system makes milk froth wishes come true at the push of a button. Unlike other currently available integrated milk circuits, this system froths the milk twice. The result is wonderfully fine milk froth at just the right temperature. The control panel is therefore very sleekly designed. Although it does not have a touchscreen, it is very easy to operate. For example, there is a button for each coffee variety, and you have personalized settings such as the desired coffee strength and quantity that can be easily stored. The LCD screen with red LED lights is therefore not only beautiful to look at, but it is also extremely easy to operate. The Melitta Purista ® model is not only just as compact as the Solo ® models, but it’s also equipped with additional functions and improvements that are sure to be appreciated by lovers of coffee. One of such improvements is extremely quiet operation, which is the result of a whisper-silent grinder. Moreover, Melitta has improved the surface of the drip tray: it’s been covered with special anti-scratch coating, so the tray won’t get scratched by cups even if you use the coffee machine for years. For even more convenience, there’s a built-in My Coffee recipe button, which allows you to program and save a drink — thanks to this button, you’ll be able to access your favourite coffee at the touch of a button every time you want to enjoy a cup. Ease of use is ensured by a separate Service button located on the front panel of the machine. By pushing it, you’ll access all maintenance programs. Those who love to experiment with the flavour of their coffee will be pleasantly surprised by finding even more grinding levels in this appliance — there are as many as 5. COMFORT line

Anti-Scratch - The drip tray features a stainless steel drip plate with a high-quality integrated anti-scratch plastic insert. The Melitta Latticia OT comes with some great care and maintenance settings, such as the option to set your water hardness (which will adjust how often you get the reminder to de-scale) and alter the automatic switch-off time. Coffee connoisseurs can now experience café-quality beverages with the Melitta® Latticia® OT. Its LATTEperfection system makes creating milk-based drinks simpler than ever. Intuitive one-touch operation and real image buttons make usage effortless, while the double cup mode and large bean container guarantee plenty of coffee. Feel the convenience of coffee enjoyment at the push of a button. Product details: To make milky coffee in the Melitta Latticia OT, you need to take the milk tube and insert it into the right side of the dispenser. You then can place the other end of the tube in a glass of milk, or opt for a Melitta milk dispenser which will cost more, but look a lot better. It's a shame this isn't included seeing as the integrated LATTEperfection system is a main selling point of the machine.Thanks to LatteSelect® , the coffee brewing process is now even more satisfying: the coffee drink icons have been changed into colour ones that look exactly like the real beverages. This coffee machine includes even more recipes, which can be selected with a single touch — there are as many as 12 different drinks to choose from! Moreover, the drip tray is covered with anti-scratch coating, so it’ll remain scratch-free for much longer. There are 2 additional user profiles here — the total number amounts to 6. Just like in the case of the CI® models, you can choose from two different types of beans (2 bean containers) and prepare 2 milk-based beverages at once. Barista® This is the most innovative coffee machine series from Melitta , designed for those who want their coffee machine to act like the world’s best barista. At the touch of a button, these appliances prepare as many as 18 – 21 coffee recipes. The latest and best Melitta technologies listed above are all integrated in Barista ® machines . The most cutting-edge of them all, namely the Barista TS Smart model, allows you to choose from two different types of beans and prepare your coffee using any of them, as well as assign a certain bean variety to a specific drink and save your choice in the settings. Take advantage of as many as 8 user profiles and operate the coffee machine via a smart device. All maintenance programs are fully automated, so all you’ll have to do is enjoy delicious coffee. The second advantage of this adjustable spout is that the machine also gets less dirty because there are few splashes from the brewing process. So, less cleaning up! Continuously Variable Quantity Adjustment - You can set the quantity both for coffee drinks and coffee beverages with milk as you like. The outlet height can be adjusted to up to 135 mm so you can also use glasses or extra large mugs.

The coffee machines belonging to the Melitta Premium line are designed for those who aren’t willing to compromise and are always searching for nothing but the best. This line includes appliances of the CI® , LatteSelect® and Barista® series. CI® Another good feature with this machine is that you can make two drinks at once. To do this you just need to place two cups under the dispenser and double-press the coffee you want to make. How to clean the Melitta Latticia OT Brewing Strength and Grinding Fineness - For individual tastes, the brewing strength (three settings) and the grinding fineness (five settings) can be adjusted.With the Aroma Extraction System (AES), Melitta first ensures that the freshly ground coffee is briefly sprinkled with water before the coffee is brewed. Doing this before the brewing process activates the aromas and releases the flavours better, much better than if the hot water is pressed straight through the coffee beans. No responsibility is taken for the correctness of this information. The listed offers do not constitute legally binding advertising claims of the merchants. The grinding degree can also be set with this machine, although we and Melitta recommend that you only do this after you have made about one hundred cups. The reason is explained in detail here. The most innovative Melitta models will allow you to create as many as 8 separate user profiles and save your favourite recipes on them, without changing the settings chosen by other users. The road to delicious coffee will now be even shorter! To brew your favourite coffee recipe, simply switch on your profile and select the desired drink with the touch of a button. Convenient cleaning system A final advantage of an adjustable coffee spout is that it makes the coffee even tastier, especially the crema layer. There is less chance that air bubbles will get into your crema layer when the spout is closer to your cup. This gives your espresso a fuller and creamier taste.

I'm not one to part with hundreds of pounds very easily, but it's a fact of life that a coffee machine is one of the greatest investments you can make for your kitchen. There is no way I'd have shelled out for a sophisticated bean-to-cup before I started reviewing these machines, but knowing what I know now, this is a machine I'd save up for. The bean-to-cup appliances produced by Mellita are divided into three main coffee machine lines: Premium , Comfort and Standard . Every lover of coffee, depending on their personal needs and wants, can find the coffee machine that is just perfect for them. STANDARD line Extra Large Coffee Enjoyment - The Latticia® OT has a removable extra large water tank (1.5 l) and an extra large bean container (250 g) for plenty of coffee enjoyment. Despite being just 20 cm wide, this automatic coffeemaker has enough space to easily prepare two coffee beverages with milk at the same time.As with most machines, it will flush the system out before and after every use. I did find that a small amount of water came out before each shot of coffee or milk cycle, but at least I knew that this was clean water and not old, leftover coffee. I usually put a cup underneath the dispenser when I use a bean-to-cup machine to stop the drip tray from filling up too fast. Especially for machines like this, where the drip tray goes along the entire underside of the machine, they can be quite unwieldy and annoying to empty on a regular basis. The first thing that catches your eye is the dimensions. It is the narrowest automatic espresso machine we know. With a width of only 20 centimetres, it is one of the smallest fully automatic coffee machines on the market. The depth of the machine is 46 centimetres which allow it to protrude a bit and the slightly larger bean container also makes the machine a bit higher,
